elect to the Speakership man whose
right TO seat is seriously challenged.
Such an election is in some sense deci-
sion upon the contest before the contest
ant has been heard. 1t would jeopardize
Mr. Thoebe's legal rights, by pre.iudgiDg
his case. And in this instance the case
for the contestant is much too strong TO
be treated as entitled TO no consideration.
1t will be shown that the returns from
the interior counties of the Coyington dis
trict were kept open for days after the
law required them to be closed, that
several of the officials in these counties
were not qualified to act in connection
with the elections, and that the usual vote
for the Democratic candidate in one coun-
ty was more than doubled TO overcome
the majority for Mr. Thoebe in river coun-
ties. And the recent State election has
added to the force of these allegations.
When the first returns were published,
and il was claimed that Mr.. Thoebe was
elected, even Republicans said: II Is
not possible, for il is in Kentucky" But
the large vote for Mr. Bradley has salts
fed everybody that Mr. Thoebe's claims
NAV be much more thah visionary, and
that be may be quite right in his conten-
ton that he had majority Philadelphia

PABIs. Mich. Sept. 16:-While the family
of Charles MeGrath, farmer living near
here WAS absent, an unknown man entered
the house and demanded of Myrtle McCar-
thy, the servant girl, some money which he
said was there. The stranger soon found $500
with which he left. Then the girl reflected
that she would be accused of stealing the
money and started after the thief with
piichiork. She man turned and threatened
her, but she demanded the money. On his
refusing to give it up she promptly hit him
on the head with the fork handle The thief
made'a rush for Miss Mccarthy. She reyer-

10000 Wedding Guests.

BuFFALo. September l5.-Pnobably the
largest attended wedding that ever took
place in this or any other State was that AT
East Aurora to-day. when Clarence Lamb,
aged thirty-four years, and Miss NJ. Bodmer,
aged twenty-one wears, both of that village,
were publicly united in matrimony by the
Rev Mr. Olcott, also of East Aurora. in the
presence of 1900 persons. The ceremony
was performed about } o'clock this afteanoon
the enthusiasm being simply tremendous.
The couple stood on a wagon presented by
the Jackson Company on condition that the
knot would be tied while they stood in its
gaily-painted box.
Mr. Olcott, the officiating clergyman, long
ago retired from the pulpit, but when it be-
came known Rev Dewitt Talmage would
not be present as expected, he consented to-
perform the ceremony. He drove up in
front of the stand in a two-wheeled trotting
rig. This was signal for such an ovation
as was never rendered an humble couple
before
The blushing bride was attired in a hand
some gIey travelling dress, the present of one
of the big dry goods establishments here, and
she stood up through the ordeal with great
nerve Both she and Mr.. Lamb are honest
country folks of unstained reputation. Lamb
having a well established jewelry business at
East Aurora. After the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Lamb were escorted about the fair
ground in a grand procession consisting OF
fine blooded stock all kinds, IA band of mu-
sic and Company d., OF Buffalo. The pres
ents were from all over the country, Ben
Butler sending two dozen silver spoons.
Other presents were of baby carriages, furni-
ture, dry goods groceries, half ton of fer

Statements Made at the Meeting of
B. g. o. Railroad Directors.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 1.-THE regular month
ly meeting of the Board Of Directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was
( held here to-day.
VIM F. Burns presided He stated To the
meeting that the temporary arrangement for
three million dollars had been made as
authorized by the board at its last meeting
that negotiations were still in progress for
the permanent funding of the debt and that
when these were sufficiently advanced the
whole matter would be submitted to the
Finance Committee, and by that committee
action.
The negotiations contemplate that the syn
dicate shall buy five millions of the eonsoli-
dated main line mortgage bonds and 5000,
900 of preferred stock that the entire issue
of consolidated main line mortgage bonds
would be SIS, ,000, 900, and that will be taken
by the syndicate, the remainder will be used
Tor retiring at maturity the existing main
line mortgage Indebtedness, aud for sinking
fund purposes thus saving To company the
annual cash appropriations now required for
these sinking funds.
Mr.. Burns stated that the syndicate was
not in the interest of any other corporation
and that the management of the b. * o..
would be AS free as ever from the domination
of any rival or competitive interests. He
called the attention of the Board to the fact
that the earnings of the company for Aug
were s., ,0s4 600, the largest of any month in
the company's history, and that unless some
thing unforeseen occurs the earnings for Sep
tember will be greater than those for August.

Novel Spectacular Wedding.

BALTIMORE, Sept. l6.-The novel spectacle
of wedding by torcllight and in the pres
ence of military guard from Farragut Post
G.. A. r., was seen by vast gathering of
people at the Western Scheutzen park last
night. Between and 10 O'Clock carriage
was driven to the grounds containing the
bride and groom eiect-Miss Edna Frey and
Mr.. A NJ Caivert-and their attendants.
Their carriage was followed by another in
which was Rev W H. Linthicum. who was
to perform the ceremony As the wedding
party assembled the platform a band played
the wedding march from 81 Norma and there
was display of pyrotechnics, the great
crowd meanwhile cheering loudly. Pastor
Luthicum repeated the marriage service gal
lantly and kissed the bride and shook hands
with the groom. All on theplatform followed
the example of the pastor. with the exception
of the reporters, whose offers of salutati Oh
in the osculatory fashion were rejected by
the bride.

A Horse Thief Escapes.

GREENsBURG. Sept. I6-This morning about
2:35 O'Clock occurred one of the most daring
Jail deliveries ON record. John Boyer, alias
John Brown, who, some time since, stole Il
horse from Thomas Barret, of Youngstown,
and was captured at the Red Lion stables.
was the individual who succeeded in break
ing out ofiaii-a structure that was supposed
to be beyond the power of any one TO break
out of. and which Westmorelanders have
frequently boasted was as strong as the IA
nous baStile of France. Having eluded the
jailer by hiding under table in dark cor
ner, Brown first tore the gas pipe on the
north side of the Jail from its fastenings and
unscrewing il at the first tier of cells he shap-

THE proposed Revenue law framed by
the Commissioners, appointed by the
late Legislature, and which will probably
be submitted 10 an extra session to be
convened this fall: is substantially the
same as the bill which failed to become a
law last spring because it lacked the sig
nature Of the presiding officer Of the Sen
ate. Under the defeated bill transporta-
ton corporations were taxed 3 mills on
their capital stock and judgments and
mortgages and : mills on their gross re-
ceipis This bill imposes 3-mill franchise
tax on these corporations, based on the
amount of funded Indebtedness and capi-
tai stock, as represented by property in
the state amounting to about SS42,OOO,-
600, promising tax Of s., 10000. In so
far as the bills relate to the taxation Of
money at interest they are identical,
proposing a three-mill tax on the actual
value of nearly every form Of interest
bearing indebtedness. The provision for
the return to the counties of one-half the
amount received from this tax is also re-
tained
